On tap at Stone over Thanksgiving. Pours hazy, red/brown with a medium sized off white head and specks of lace. Smells of spices and rose petals with some sweet malts as well. Tastes of spices, cumin or whatever, clove, allspice and roses. Sweet overall. Pretty good, like drinking a bouquet. Medium body, ok carbonation.

On tap at Beachwood about a week ago. Poured a dark-reddish brown color with a white/off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, fruit, herbs/spices. Flavor was similar but with caramel corn, caramel and fruit added to the mix. Very herbal, but didn’t become medicinal; still not an everyday/session beer.

On tap at Hamilton’s in San Diego. Pours a dark reddish-brown color with a minimal off-white head. Aroma is molasses, spearmint, anise, and various herbs and spices. Flavor is heavily spiced, herbal, and floral. Molasses and anise along with spearmint, lavender, rosemary, and sage. Body is medium and palate is fairly smooth and spicy. Interesting, but this style is not my favorite.
